Sept. 21, 2021 FNSB School Board Meeting


Listen Later

This episode is about Fairbanks North Star Borough Board of Education Resolutions 2021-04, 2021-05, and 2021-06. These resolutions impact marginalized members of our community, focusing on females, Indigenous people, and members of the LGBT community. Some of the comments on these resolutions need to be talked about.

Content Warning for Episode: There is offensive language in one of the clips I used. I called out the offensive language.

I struggled to get this episode recorded, so I ended up writing a script for this episode and reading it. I also recorded while my toddler was awake, so let me know if the background noise is too distracting.
